Small electric motor question (non car related)

Sorry if there’s a better spot for this. Mods, feel free to move or even delete if needed.
Figuring someone will know, I’m trying to help my wife out with a small Christmas tree that was gifted to her several years ago that she loves however she’s lost the power cord for it. I’m trying to find a replacement and the manufacturer isn’t an option. The only two electrical parts to it is a 6v 10watt bulb and this electric motor which seems to be a 6vac motor producing 4 watts. I believe between both they’ll be pulling around 2.3 amps collectively so my question is, will a 6vac, 2.5 amp power source be sufficient? Also, based on the motor markings below am I correct that the motor is AC and not DC? I know, it seems obvious. I just was under the impression many household items convert to DC and I’d prefer to avoid ruining the motor if possible. Thanks in advance. |
The motor and bulb will be pulling 14W which will draw 2.34A at 6V AC.
I would think that a 2.5A power supply will be fine for a Christmas decoration but If you can find one around 3A that might give you a little more wiggle room. |
Thanks. I thought so but knew someone here would be able to help me confirm.
